Ms Suzanne Campion:

The announcement made by the Minister of State said that IFI works with AFYDI, ACI and other organisations. The award to IFI at the time was for €20,000 and €50,000. The sum of €20,000 was for a national angling strategy and €50,000 for novice angler activation.

The SLA the Deputy mentioned was in discussion with the ACI previous to all of that but it was never signed off or agreed upon. The €70,000 from the Dormant Accounts Fund is a completely separate issue. Of that, €20,000 went to the angling strategy and it was decided by the board and the Minister at the time that the €50,000 would be distributed in a fair manner through the etenders process.
